The thing I hear most from pastors doing deliverance ministry is not a theology question. It is some version of this: I think I am the only one around here doing this.
They are usually wrong about that. There is almost always somebody two towns over doing the same work, wondering the same thing. They just have no way to find each other.
So we are putting them in a room. Kansas City, spring 2027, the first Deliverance Exchange Gathering.
Why a room and not a livestream
I livestream most of what I teach, and I will keep doing it. But there are things that do not happen on a livestream.
Nobody raises their hand on YouTube and says the session went sideways and I did not know what to do. Nobody admits on camera that they prayed for someone for two hours and nothing happened and they went home wondering if they had wasted everyone's evening. Those conversations need a door that closes.
When I got started I had a problem I could not solve and a theology that would not let me touch it. What changed things was not a better book, though the book helped. It was a man who was willing to sit across from me and be patient with my questions. I asked him a lot of them.
Most ministers doing this work never get that. They get a conference with a stage and a merch table, and then they drive home alone.
What the two days actually are
Three things, and not much else.
**Teaching on the Restoration Framework.** How deliverance and inner healing fit together, why order matters, and how to run it inside a normal local church without turning it into a spectacle or a specialty ministry that only one person is allowed to touch.
**Honest sessions on what goes wrong.** Accountability, burnout, the person who does not get free, the family that gets angry with you, the elder board that is nervous. This is the part conferences skip and it is the part ministers actually need.
**Long open floors.** Not a panel. Actual unhurried time for people who have been carrying this by themselves to talk to each other.
No stage lighting budget. No green room. If you have been doing this alone, the point is that you leave knowing people you can call.
Why spring 2027, and why I have not named the weekend
Two reasons for the long runway. Pastors book their calendars far out, and I would rather give you eight months of notice than ask you to move something.
As for the exact weekend, I am still settling it, and I want the people who are actually coming to have a say. If you are in, tell me. If a particular stretch of spring is impossible for you, tell me that too. I would rather find out now than pick a date and discover half the people who wanted to be there are at their own church's event.
That is genuinely how this gets decided. It is a small enough group that your answer matters.
How to be in the room
Registration is not open, and it will not open publicly first. It goes to Deliverance Exchange members before anyone else, and members get the founding rate.
The Exchange itself is free. No tier, no pitch, no paywall. It is an email list and a quarterly video roundtable for pastors and ministers who want deliverance ministry working inside their own churches. When you sign up it asks you two questions: where you minister, and the one question about deliverance you have never had a good answer to. I read every one of those myself, and they shape what we teach.
If you have been doing this by yourself, that is the whole invitation. Come be in a room with people who understand the work.
